To
All Who Are Concerned About Our Freedoms and Liberties: This is a must to
attend:

[set in a different font in email] Just a
reminder of our special event with Brigitte Gabriel coming up tomorrow night ,
Monday, July 29. The event is located at the Little Falls Community High
School. 1001 5th Avenue SE. Little Falls. Doors open at 6 pm,
program starts at 7 pm. I hope you and your friends can make it.

Please
pass this information on to your conservative friend list and talk with your
local churches, Legions, and VFW's. Thank you for all you can do and I am
hoping you and your friends are able to attend this very special event hosted by
the Central Minnesota Tea Party Patriots. Please RSVP for yourself and for
anyone who does not have a computer - thanks for doing this and thanks for those
who have already done so. I am tracking our guestimated numbers as our goal is
to reach a minimum of 500 people in attendance. If we do not get that
many, we will have to pay Brigitte's traveling expenses.

I know we
would do better, but it has been requested that we not put this event in
newspapers or put up flyers - any advertising like that will be done by
Brigitte's organization if they choose to do so. I have contacted a few
law enforcement agencies, but if you have email addresses for me, I will send a
personal invitation to those in your areas. All law enforcement showing
their badges at the door get in free - we want them educated! [emphasis added]

One of the penalties
for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by
your inferiors. Plato

Bluestem wonders if Tea Party events are a good place for law enforcement personnel to receive anti-terrorism education. It's not likely that the free admission is prohibited under Minnesota's gift law, according to a handbook published by the League of Minnesota Cities, although local governments and law enforcement departments may have established their own policies about the sort of gifts officers and employees can accept.

If they are a peaceful loving American, why are they concerned? They
came here for our freedoms, but now they do not want us to have our
freedoms. Brigitte is the leading expert on global Islamic Terrorism -
if they are not terrorists, they have nothing to be afraid of [emphasis added]. I chose
an expert for a reason. There is strength in numbers, so I am hoping to
fill the auditorium on Monday night. Doors open at 6, program starts
at 7 pm. This is a must event to attend.

As we noted in an earlier post, the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League and others have pointed out that Gabriel's beliefs are considered extreme. The New York Times used the word "Islamophobe" to describe her.

CAIR-Minnesota has not objected to the Gabriel appearance the next night in Mankato, as it will be held in a private venue, not a public high school.
